At eight o'clock the next morning, Malone woke up.

The rush of the past few days has made him physically and mentally exhausted, otherwise Ma Long, who has a regular schedule and rest time, would get up at six o'clock.

Wang Peng had already gone out on a tricycle to buy goods, Ma Long washed his face, went outside to eat something casually, and then called Zhang Xiaodong.

"Hey, who are you?"

After the phone was connected, Zhang Xiaodong's confused voice came.

", who do you say I am, what time is it?"

"Ahh ”

Zhang Xiaodong yawned, and then said, "You wait for me, I'll get up immediately." ”

"Well, you asked your distant relative who sold the car, and how much is it?"

"Oops, I asked, 30,000, Wuling, which was just mentioned last year, has complete documents, the car is in excellent condition, and it has basically not been repaired. This car is used to deliver food to hospitals and schools, and after driving for more than a month, he had a quarrel with the boss, and the car has been idle at home, and it has only run more than 2,000 kilometers. ”

Zhang Xiaodong swore and said: "Don't worry, my relative is very good, and if he cheats others, it is impossible to cheat me, right, how can I say that I am a generation older than him, he has to call me a cousin!"

"That's fine. ”

Ma Long grinned: "If this thing is done, I will give you the first credit!"

"You can pull it down, let's jointly fund the barbecue restaurant, I can't care about it yet!" Zhang Xiaodong said speechlessly.

"Hehe, okay, you hurry up, let's take a taxi!"

Then the two hung up the phone.

Zhang Xiaodong got dressed and washed his face, went out without even eating, and got on the bus to the Phoenix Mountain Market.

In the car, he made a call to a distant relative who sold the car: "Qingguo, I'm your cousin, hehe, what are you doing?...... I'll tell you, I'll go over with my buddies to see the car in a while, you stay at home and don't run blind...... Uncle can still do something for you, give cash, pay the full amount,!"

Ten minutes later, Ma Long and Zhang Xiaodong met, and the two first went to the bank and withdrew 10,000 cash through the ATM, plus the 20,000 cash that Zhang Xiaodong gave Ma Long before, exactly 30,000.

In addition to this money, he still has about 40,000 yuan in his hand, and he has to return 10,000 yuan to Uncle Guo.

In addition, tools such as oven tricycles are used by Uncle Guo for free, and when he buys a car, these tools are returned, and he will buy something for Uncle Guo to express his gratitude.

The remaining 30,000 or so, Ma Long plans to wait until October to do something else, after all, barbecue is seasonal.

The two took a taxi and went straight to Zhang Xiaodong's distant relative's house.

The driver took the national highway directly, and after half an hour, he parked the car in a small village on the edge of Jiangcheng City.

After the two paid and got out of the car, the driver still pulled his neck and asked the two: "Hey, buddy, when are you two leaving?"

Zhang Xiaodong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't wait, we'll drive our own car when we go back!"

On the way, Ma Long lit a cigarette and asked Zhang Xiaodong: "How old are you this year?

Zhang Xiaodong touched the skin of his brain, thought for a while and replied: "I can't say anything about it, I just know that I have to call this cousin and his grandmother aunt." ”

The two chatted first, and then came to a small two-story building and stopped.

The building was obviously newly built, and the large iron door sprayed with red paint was unusually atmospheric, and the same red tiles were pasted in the middle of the gate, and the colorful words "龍鳳呈祥" were written in traditional Chinese

On both sides of the doorway, there are two majestic stone lions.

There is also an attic on top of these two small buildings, and the top of the attic is decorated like a small pavilion.

This kind of small building is not common in rural areas.

The door is ajar, the yard is clean, and there are a lot of bonsai in the corners.

"Your relative's house, the conditions are very good!" Marlon was stunned.

"That's a must, look at the relatives of your Dongge family, which one is not the upper class of people living in a well-off society? When you are free, I will introduce you to a few acquaintances who work in Zhongnanhai. ”

Zhang Xiaodong bragged and had already taken Ma Long to the courtyard.

Looking at the sliding aluminum alloy living room door, it seems that there are several young people drinking and chatting inside.

"Hey, Qingguo!" Zhang Xiaodong didn't go in, and stood in the courtyard and shouted.

Soon, a bareback young man in jeans ran out, he was 1.8 meters tall, with an inch close to his scalp and a cigarette in his hand.

"Hey, my cousin is here, I thought you would have to arrive in the afternoon!"

He ran over with a smile on his face and greeted Zhang Xiaodong: "Have you eaten?"

"Introduction, this is Ma Long, my buddy, I just partnered with him to open a barbecue restaurant!"

Zhang Xiaodong pointed at Ma Long and said.

"Hello, my name is Wang Qingguo, you and my cousin are buddies, then I will also call you uncle!"

Wang Qingguo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Don't dare, your uncle also mentioned it to you, we came to pick up the car today, you see I'm in a hurry, you also have friends at home, let's do this quickly!"

Ma Long finished speaking with a smile, and then subconsciously swept around the yard, but did not find the Wuling Hongguang.

"There's no rush. ”

Wang Qingguo patted Ma Long on the shoulder: "You don't know, I washed the car for you clean last night, just like new, just waiting for the two of you to come." But this morning, there was a neighbor in front of my house, and the child got stuck in his throat after eating walnuts, and unfortunately his car was still in the repair shop, so he came to me to borrow a car. ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Qingguo continued: "You said that I can't see you when I look up, am I embarrassed not to lend it to others?"

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Ma Longjue's Wang Qingguo is not wrong, after all, other people's children are in a hurry to go to the hospital, but human life is a matter of heaven.

"Okay, since you said so, I won't say anything more, let's do this, you two will sit in the house first and have a meal, I guess they will be back soon." When the car comes back, let's make a deal right away. ”

After speaking, Wang Qingguo dragged the two of them to the house.

Inside, there were six other young men drinking and chatting, all of them shirtless or wearing vests, revealing large tattoos on their bodies.

The two politely declined Wang Qingguo's invitation, and sat on the sofa in the corner and waited.

Zhang Xiaodong rode Erlang's legs, covered his mouth and asked Ma Long in a low voice: "Is my relative okay?"

Ma Long gave Zhang Xiaodong a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaodong looked proud.

Since the two sat down, Wang Qingguo has never said a word to the two except for bringing drinks to the two.

Time passed minute by minute, Ma Long didn't do anything, just when Zhang Xiaodong was impatient and wanted to ask Wang Qingguo when his neighbor would come, Wang Qingguo received a call from his neighbor.

Wang Qingguo nodded frequently into the phone, said okay, no problem, and then hung up the phone, and said to Ma Long and Zhang Xiaodong very apologetically: "I'm really sorry, my neighbor can't come back today." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaodong frowned and asked.

"The child was not life-threatening, but because the walnut was stuck in the throat for too long, the trachea became somewhat inflamed and required hospitalization. I mean you're waiting at home, I'm going to the hospital right now and getting the car. If you are in a hurry, then forget it today, and tomorrow, I will personally send the car to you, and I don't want 30,000, just give me 28,000!"

Zhang Xiaodong glanced at Ma Long, he was a little undecided. After all, Wang Peng is alone in the store, and it is almost noon now, and he must be too busy to prepare the materials for the stall at night.

"It's here anyway, let's just wait!" said Marlon almost without thinking.

"I'll go pick up the car right away!"

While talking, Wang Qingguo got up and went to the bedroom, and when he came out, he took a shirt in his hand, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Hey, you two bought the car, and I don't have any means of transportation, give me the money first, and I will save the money by the way." Hehe, to be honest, if it weren't for the bank loan, I wouldn't be willing to sell this car!"

"Okay!" Ma Long simply agreed, and then took out 30,000 yuan from his arms and handed it to Wang Qingguo.

"Exquisite!" Wang Qingguo didn't count the money, then walked to the side of the coffee table and opened the drawer, took out a pen and paper, and wrote, "I received Zhang Xiaodong's 30,000 yuan purchase fee, and then signed my name in the lower right corner." ”

He handed the paper to Zhang Xiaodong, and then laughed: "Cousin, you take this first, and when I come back, that Wuling will be yours!"

"You talk a lot, hurry up, we still have something!" Zhang Xiaodong scolded with a smile.

I don't know why, Ma Long suddenly felt that this Wang Qingguo was a little unreliable, but when he saw Zhang Xiaodong's relieved appearance, he immediately felt a lot more relieved in his heart, afraid of Mao, he is Zhang Xiaodong's relative, can he still pit him?

Just, is it really that simple?
